Poisons or Toxicology is one of my favorite topics. The articles and slide decks are a good place to start. What aspect of toxins or poisons interests your teen? Venomous Animals? Poison Prevention? Forensic Toxicology? Minamata Bay? Below are some resources to help tailor your study unit.
1. Introductory Slide Decks: Forensic Toxicology, Toxicology (mainly alcohol toxicity), and Toxicology (great overview with emphasis on emergency poison treatments). Use this Note packet along with the slide decks.
2. Pick Your Poison Project. Have your teen create a poster, slide deck, or write a paper about a specific poison.
3. Chemmatters articles: How Toxic is Toxic?, (Teacher’s Guide), Poison that Heals, CO Control, and Lead in Your Water: Is Any Amount Safe? These articles are a great way to start a discussion and spark more research.
4. Britannica: Toxins, Venoms, Chemicals
5. Video: The Chemistry of Poison Ivy
6. ACS: Toxicology
7. PBS The Poison Squad
9. Health Effects of Lead Poisoning
10. Poisoner’s Handbook has questions for the film. There is a book, too!
